I’ve sent out emails to those of you in the $50-100 Patreon pledge range, so check your mail and reply to me. For everyone else $3 and over, I will be making the PSD of this strip available for download for maximum tinkerage.

If you are only working 8 hours a day, then it’s not a bad rate ($12.50 an hour), but how many hours is she working? If she earns $300 per weekend (so 4 times per month) that’s about $14,000 per year, or poverty-level wages.

I actually asked Rusche the question about rent way back, because I was trying to calculate the minimum amount that Ellie would need to make, and I live in one of those high-cost areas that skews my whole perspective. I don’t recall exactly what he said- I think it was around 400-600. It was definitely more than 200 though.

I’m pretty sure that the $500 IS her half, so the TOTAL rent would be around $1000 (plus electric).

If you know where I can get a 2 bedroom condo for only $500 per month, please PLEASE let me know. Because even compared to the inflated rates of the city I’m living in now, that sounds absurdly cheap.

Also, are the electric bills in Florida so much higher because electricity is more expensive or just because people use so much of it? For example, the electric bill for my apartment can more than double for June, July, and August.

In the Portland, OR area, rents are $1200+…
My house payment is over $2400, my electricity bill in winter is $450-600, Summer $175-250. We’re still “paying for Enron”. (From my understanding, that will always be the case. Who thinks the electric company will lower their bills, permanently, by 50%???)
Colorado was half of all that, easily, even with tougher winters…

Looks like Florida is more affordable! Too bad it’s on the other side of the country…

LinkedIn works awesomely if you really don’t need it to find a job. You can find jobs without it, but there’s been times where I would get contacted by one of the top tech companies for a possible position.

When I had no experience, I hardly got any LinkedIn messages. After getting it, it’s completely different

Called it. Ellie has caught on to his perving ways. And I like the bait and switch Amish punchline.

But what made me almost choke on a handful of sunflower seeds was the “urine for sale” guy being on linked in. I was expecting her to refer back to when they had a business arrangement. This was much funnier than the expected.

I’m proud to see Ellie is growing up and making sure to keep track of the people who she’s worked with in the past that may be able to help her again in the future.

So now I’m wondering, since Ellie values her business connectivity with the Urine Salesman, if she’d accept a LinkedIn connection request from Danny or not.

Also I’m expecting this conversation leads (possibly after he realizes she won’t go for this ploy any more) to gifting her with a webcam-equipped computer and getting her to have her own video channel on the site. Which, once she advertises to her Facebook connections trying to outdo each other, may give the site a pretty massive bump.
